Just want to point out how completely sociopathic the capitalist class truly is.
Check out how nonchalantly they talk about destroying the earth for literally NOTHING. Nobody needs diamonds. You don't eat them. You don't do anything useful with them except for the small fraction used at tips to cut stuff with.
Look at how they think nothing about manipulating people. "the diamond industry will need to work hard to reignite Chinese consumer demand."
They are talking about using advertising to manipulate people into wanting/buying a thing they DO NOT NEED at great expense to poor people who work these jobs that produce almost no value to anybody except billionaire owners amid a #ClimateCrisis where these operations will pollute surrounding areas and definitely need fossil fueled machinery.
These people are sick. Have absolutely NO conscience. They will not stop until half the population is starving and finally revolts.
It is absolutely disgusting to read a piece like this when you think about it in the context of workers rights and climate breakdown.
#MediaIsComplicit in all this because of the glowing way it writes about these sick sick action. They talk about advertising like it's some glorious Mad Max kind of thing.
These people will not agree to scale back production, stop pursuing infinite growth unless they are stopped. I have lost all hope that we can turn to the current power structures to save humanity and society. I can only hope that when the guillotines come out, these people go first.
